It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Narelle and here’s what I did with it!
I totally missed Christmas in July. It's been a tough year at work and
any creative mojo, let alone Christmas mojo, has been long gone. I decided this past weekend to not work any more overtime and to try to let it go mentally - and I did it by proclaiming this past Saturday as Christmas. I made Christmas cards all day. And I wore a Christmas T-shirt, drank coffee out of a Christmas mug and played Christmas music and movies. My guys even humored me - when my son woke up, he ran into my office shouting "Merry Christmas" and gave me a big hug! It was all very refreshing - I think I need to proclaim a day of Christmas every month!
With Christmas in mind, Narelle's sketch had to be "ho ho ho"! I found a bold "ho" die in my not-yet-used stash and cut three, angling the "O" when I adhered them. I found some paper that matched the theme and added a "Be Very Merry". It's all a little different from my normal look but I'm happy with it - and it will likely go to the son who shouted "Merry Christmas"!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
